<hr ALIGN="CENTER">As the EJB specification increases in both popularity

and business viability within the marketplace, there is

<br>sizeable list of products that attempt to deliver on it's promise of

serving as a complete component programming model.&nbsp; While several

of the available Application Server products do a good job of tackling

the easier challenges presented by the specification, only one fully handles

the most difficult such as Container Managed Persistence and Deployment

Performance &amp; Scalability that accomodates highly distributed - transactional

systems.&nbsp; This talk will present in technical detail the Persistence

PowerTier Transactional Application Server, THE Engine for E-commerce.&nbsp;

A complete profile of the technology will be provided that will include;

architecture, development process, component integration, and advanced

deployment capabilities (i.e. Cache Synchronization).
